Abstract

The integrable (2+1)-dimensional chiral equations are related to the self-dual Yang-Mills equation. Previously-known nonlocal conservation laws do not yield finite conserved charges, because the relevant spatial integrals diverge. We exhibit infinite sequences of conserved quantities that do exist, and have a simple explicit form.
